Plagiarism: I think we need and have to cite our sources because this is known as stealing if we do not. Its illegal to copy something from someone and not show who the credit is due to and where. Also if we use information in a paper or something for the whole class to read then we need to show where we got it for others to go to that information source and read more about the topic if they want to know more.
If someone used something I had created and didn't give me credit I think I would be pretty upset knowing that all that work I did and someone just up and stole it from me and said that they did it. That is something that would probably take legal action.
I haven't really looked up any real world issues on this yet but I think that if someone takes what isn't theirs than it should be handled just the same way a burglary or theft issue would be handled. Give them what they deserve for what they did.
From what I have heard about Wikipedia I think that they need to learn how to not take things and not give credit for them. If they are going to post something than they need to give credit...if they are not going to give credit then they should be shut down and taken off the web.
